Jivika shows the boy his room first and then takes the girl to a different room. The room is simple-looking. A queen-size bed, a medium-sized almirah, a small dressing table, and two chairs are the things present in the room.

"You can rest here. I will come back with a jar of water." Jivika says timidly.

"I am a girl too so you can take off the veil. Also, your grandma and aunt are not here." The girl comments which shocks Jivika because it's not the first time they have guests staying at their place as this is a family business of Rao's. But this is the first time someone wants her to take off the dupatta.

"But dadi says that no one outside the home should see my face as it will bring bad luck to them." Jivika replies.

"Oh My God! This old woman needs some sense to be put in her mind." The girl remarks rolling her eyes.

"You called my dadi old woman?" Jivika asks aloud looking at the girl with wide eyes not able to believe that someone deliberately insulting her grandma.

"Yes, so what? An old woman should be called an old woman. Actually, no! That old woman should be called a witch." The girl says struggling with her shoulders without caring for anything. On the other hand, Jivika is still in a shocked mood upon hearing the girl's choice of words.

"You are brave." That's all Jivika can say.

"Forget about the oldy, you first take off the veil and then we will talk further." The girl orders Jivika who at first hesitates but then decides to do as she is being told. It's in her nature to follow orders.

Jivika takes off the dupatta from her head making the girl gasp in astonishment. The girl can't believe that such a beautiful person is hiding her beauty from the world.

"You are so beautiful, Jivi." The girl comments blinking her eyes.

"Jivi?" Jivika wonders aloud while the girl giggle seeing the confusion on Jivika's face.

"It's your nickname from me and nickname means a name which can be used apart from the real name of a person." The girl narrates already understanding that Jivika doesn't have much knowledge of modern world.

"Thank You for giving me a nickname. No one ever gave me a nickname before." Jivika replies feeling emotional.

"By the way, I am Ritika Singh Rathore." The girl introduces herself.

"Your name is very nice but ummm.." Jivika hesitates.

"Tell me whatever you want." Ritika encourages.

"Can I give you a nickname too?" Jivika asks timidly.

"Oh, I love nicknames. You can definitely give me one." Ritika replies happily.

"I want to call you Riti." Jivika says making Ritika clapping her hands feeling giddy. Because at home, her family members call her Ritu and others call her Ritika. But now she has a complete new name.

"Awe, thanks Jivi for giving me a new nickname. From now on we will be friends forever." Ritika replies happily.

"Friends? You want to be my friend?" Jivika asks wanting to know if she what she heared correct or not.

"Of course, I want to be your friend. Look I know I am older than you but still I can promise you that I will be a cool friend." Ritika replies smiling big.

"I never had any friend before so thank you for being my friend." Jivika says making Ritika's smile vanish. Because she can't believe that a sweet girl like Jivika doesn't have any friends. But seeing the type of environment she is living, it doesn't sound anything different.

"You don't worry about not having friends because now you have Ritika Singh Rathore as your friend aka Riti." Ritika remarks earning a small smile from Jivika who nods her head cutely.

"Okay, then now you rest. You must be tired." Jivika says to which Ritika nods her head.

"Yep, feeling a lot tired. Especially after the yummy food you served us." Ritika replies making Jivika feel happy that at least someone has appreciated her efforts.

Jivika leaves the room and goes to the kitchen to get a jar of water. She puts the jar in Ritika's room and then leaves from there. She will now go to the temple for her evening work which is basically cleaning the temple. She earns a little money from doing this work but that's enough for her to sustain her needs. She also saves some money for emergencies.

It's an old God Ganpati's temple where many people from outside the village come to visit. It is said that this temple is extremely divine and if you pray for something that will surely get fulfilled.

Jivika quickly starts cleaning the temple before the evening aarti gets start. After cleaning everything, she stands outside the temple for some minutes praying and leaves from there before dark as per her grandma's order.

She quickly covers her head upon reaching the house and straight goes to her room to take a shower. Again she wears a white color salwar suit making her sigh. But she knows her faith can't be changed.

This time, she braids her long hair loosely while some baby hair falls on her forehead. She again goes to the kitchen to prepare evening snacks and tea.

She decides to make Kanda Poha for the snacks so quickly starts preparing for whatever she needs. Soon she hears voices in the living room which means that her dadi and bua must have woken up from their evening nap. So, without wasting time she puts water to boil for the tea. After 15 minutes she is done making everything.

She covers her head with the dupatta not wanting her bua or dadi to get angry at her. She goes to the living room holding the tray in her hands and puts the tray on the table that is in front of the couch.

"Go and call the guests to come here for the snacks." Binita orders in which Jivika quickly nods her head and hurries towards the guest rooms. She first knocks on the room where Ritika is staying.

"I have made snacks and tea. So, can you come to the living room? Dadi and bua are waiting for you. Also please tell the boy who has come with you to reach there as well." Jivika requests not wanting to talk with a stranger boy and get scolding from her dadi.

"We will be there in a few minutes," Ritika replies smiling at her friend.
